Manual Shore Stations

This tide gauge station is located near Cape Flattery at the entrance to the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The new automated temperature system, which records one reading each hour, became fully operational in March of 1994 and manual data collection was discontinued less than one year later. To be comparative with the other shore stations providing a single daily reading, these hourly values were averaged over the 24-hour period into one daily mean temperature. Analysis of the overlapping data shows that this value can be more than 1°C cooler than the historical data set.

Please note: data is no longer being manually collected at this location.
